kilishi

QuoteHeyy guyz, u know this na shiga ukku stuff ...I heard its not even good to say it. My mom told mi its like, Daya is when a person is put in his mothers womb, biyu is when a person is born....so the hausa man when he is in some sort of trouble, he compares it with ukku, his grave. So peeps shouldn`t say that...I guess
